Brendan Rodgers has hinted that Leicester City will target players who have Premier League experience.
Rodgers says players from outside the English top flight can get caught out by the competition's "physicality".
"Sometimes the nature of the Premier League, even if players do have that competitive edge, the physicality might catch them out," he said. "The Premier League is such an intense league.
"There's a real urgency about the Premier League, and that's why you see lots of really, really good players who have come into the league – and you know their talents because you've seen them in Europe – they just don't quite do it here. And then they go back into European football, where the edge comes off it a little bit, where it's not quite the intensity, and they look fantastic players.
"That's happened throughout the Premier League, at lots of clubs. People come into clubs and you think: 'He's going to do really well.' But then the intensity of the league catches them out and they go back into a European league and they can deal with it.
"It's trying to, as a recruitment team, find out as much information as you can and try to minimise the risk. But it's always a risk, bringing a player in."
